Take away temptations: clear out your cupboards & countertopsTry superior meal prepping for the week – choose a day to prep and follow itPrioritize protein at each mealImplement the one/two rule for alcohol: one or two drinks a few times every week ONLY.Take 2 walks a day – even when it’s solely 10 minutes.
